Python client for Vizio SmartCast

Description

Simple cli and API implementation for Vizio SmartCast TV. Mainly created for integration with HASS.

Installation

Either through pip

pip3 install git+https://github.com/vkorn/pyvizio.git@master

or checkout repo and run

pip3 install -I .

CLI Usage

To avoid repeating IP and Auth params, you can add them to environment variables as VIZIO_IP and VIZIO_AUTH respectively

Pairing

First, find your device (yeah, I'm too lazy to add another cli group)

pyvizio --ip=0 --auth=0 discover

and note it's IP address. Using this IP address request pairing procedure:

pyvizio --ip={ip} pair

lookup PIN code on your TV and note challenge token in console.

Better to have device turned on as it's "forgetting" PIN sometimes if it was turned off prior to pairing command

Using these dafa finalize pairing procedure

pyvizio --ip={ip} pair_finish --token={challenge_token} --pin={tv_pin} 

If everything done correctly, you should see new connected device named Python Vizio in Vizio SmartCast mobile APP

You'll need auth code for any further commands

Turning on/off

pyvizio --ip={ip} --auth={auth_code} power {on|off|toggle}

To get current power state simply call

pyvizio --ip={ip} --auth={auth_code} power

Volume operations

You could change volume

pyvizio --ip={ip} --auth={auth_code} volume {up|down} amount

and get current level (0-100)

pyvizio --ip={ip} --auth={auth_code} volume_current

In addition mute command is available

get_inputmute {on|off|toggle}

Switching channels

pyvizio --ip={ip} --auth={auth_code} channel {up|down|prev} amount

Input sources

You can get current source

pyvizio --ip={ip} --auth={auth_code} input_get

List all connected devices

pyvizio --ip={ip} --auth={auth_code} input_list

And using Name column from this list switch input

pyvizio --ip={ip} --auth={auth_code} input --name={name}

Other options is to circle through all inputs

pyvizio --ip={ip} --auth={auth_code} input_next
